President Medvedev Checks Out the NT-MDT SOLVER NEXT at Russian Festival of Science

On February 8, 2011 the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev
attended the exhibition "The history of Russian innovations: from periodic table
to graphene" that was held in the Polytechnical Museum and opened the 1st
Russian Festival of Science. SOLVER NEXT from NT-MDT was
presented and aroused significant interest from the President.

The exhibition "The history of Russian innovations: from periodic table to
graphene" was organized by the largest Russian scientific and technical museum
Polytechnical Museum and Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (RUSNANO).

The main idea of the exhibition was to show the evolution of Russian science,
technologies and inventions, the Russian contribution to global scientific
progress using the latest achievements of the leading Russian companies.

All the up-to-date exhibits were linked to their historical pairs from
Polytechnical Museum collection, and each pair demonstrated to visitors the
initial and current stages of the different mechanisms and devices.

NT-MDT Co. introduced its Scanning Probe Microscope SOLVER NEXT. It was
displayed together with the achromatic microscope invented by Franz Aepinus
(member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and professor of physics) in 1784. It
was one of the first devices that provided a glimpse into the micro-world.

In the 21st century we can see nano-details through Scanning Probe Microscope
and the SOLVER NEXT. It is a fully automated setup that has a sub-nanometer
resolution and allows us to study the physical properties and topography of the
surface.

The President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev opened the First
Russian Festival of Science at the exhibition. The President visited the NT-MDT
Co. exhibit and had a brief talk with an engineer of NT-MDT Co. about the
features of the SOLVER NEXT.

This type of governmental activity showed that the Russian Federation intends
to continue revitalization strategies that use technological know-how and the
most modern innovations.

DR. Madeline J. Dukes, an Application Scientist from Protochips talks to AZoNano about their range of products, that are pushing the boundaries for laboratories who in the past where challenged when it came to in situ TEM tools.

SEM-Base® VI is considered to be the next generation in STACIS active piezoelectric vibration cancellation. The design of the SEM-Base VI allows it to support all commercial Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), and also many Small Dual Beam and Focused Ion Beam (FIB) instruments.

The eLINE Plus from Raith is the optimum, extensively distributed system for Research Centers and Universities that want to integrate an Electron Beam Lithography system with an open platform for additional optional nanofabrication processes and methods in a single tool.

A Life Scientist wants to be able to see how biological materials look like at nanoscale resolution and how soft they are in buffer and liquid conditions. The Park NX-Bio enables that with its highly acclaimed Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technology and its innovative in-liquid imaging Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM).
